RE: The Big House

I think I've gone down a peat rabbit hole. Since reading your comment I looked up peat in the Netherlands. Didn't realize how large a role peat played in the Netherlands history, largely because there weren't a lot of trees. Here are two interesting articles I found:

Welcome to my rabbit hole :)

    That is fascinating. I can't believe how rich the subject of peat is. Every time I open a door, I discover something new.
    I'm looking into turf houses now. Amazingly, fits right into a blog I've been working on for more than a week. No, not a peat blog. Unrelated. Or at least I thought it was :)
